(TU Delft QN/Caviglia Lab) Contributor van der Zant, H.S.J. (promotor) Caviglia, A. (copromotor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Date 2017-12-18 Abstract This thesis is an experimental investigation of the physical properties of different transition metal oxide ultra-thin films. A common feature of these various materials and structures is that they exhibit a solid-state phase transition from a metallic to an insulating state, which is triggered upon changing sample composition, or by varying an external stimulus such as temperature, illumination or gas pressure. The experiments performed cover a broad spectrum of condensed matter, from material growth, structural characterisation and nanodevice fabrication to low-temperature magnetotransport, synchrotron microscopy and gas sensing.
